Bro,i think you are the best cook in the world.

You must choose one! No sitting on the fence. Ok?

Which of the below will you rather have as a first born son?

1. A very successful Gay son, who is a CEO, owns a home in LEKKI, drives a 2016 Range and is in a faithful same sex relationship.

Or

2. A son who is a womanizer, drives a Corolla, works for the Gay boss, lives in a 2 bedroom flat in surulere.

So hilarious

The woman pictured here Aderonle Ibiam returned the money that was mistakenly transferred to her bank account.

According to a Facebook user, Afikpo Omoloma, she decided to send some money, via online to
Aderonke but mistakenly pressed more zeros than she had intended...

"Then feeling good I said let me
surprise other people and send
something small to them, my people, it tells me insufficient balance. I shout, I look at my last transaction I shout more...Mind you I DO NOT KNOW THIS WOMAN I made this expensive mistake on. Jesus hahahahahaha. I just inboxed her. No reply yet. Na only
God will help me if she will return my mula back. "

In a later update she revealed that the woman has returned the money.
"Humanity is beautiful...This is the lady I posted about yesterday. She
returned the money minus the
amount I intended to wire to her. Her name is Ibiam Aderoke I just asked her if she is Igbo or Yoruba, going by her name, she said she is from Osun state and her hubby from Unwana, Ebonyi state. Dear Mrs Ibiam, you are just so wonderful. You have made a
friend and a sister for life. This is just the start of a beautiful relationship.
Consider me family. Thank you so
much. I really appreciate your quick action. Say me HI to Mr Ibiam and the kids." Again, thank you."

Kano was famous for its magnificent
groundnut pyramids during Nigeria’s period
of agricultural boom in the 1960s and early
1970s. Its groundnut pyramids became
synonymous with the country’s agricultural
wealth, and Kano was regarded as an
economic hub in West Africa.
A pyramid could be built with as much as
15,000 full bags of groundnut. Invented by
the late Alhaji Alhassan Dantata, a prominent
groundnut trader, the groundnut pyramids
were a tourist attraction and symbol of
wealth. Dantata was one of the successful
businessmen who supplied the Royal Niger
Company (RNC) with most of its groundnut
demands. His groundnut were kept at
facilities in Kofar Nasarawa and Kofar
Mazugal in Dala.The pyramids came about because licensed
agents would go to rural areas, buy up
groundnut harvests and bring everything to
Kano for eventual evacuation by train to the
export facilities in Lagos. Curiously, as
groundnut production declined in the
1970s, the pyramids disappeared and were
replaced by buildings and roads. However,
the Kofar Mazugal location of the pyramids
at Dala remains intact till today.
When Daily Trust on Sunday visited the place
our reporter discovered that the location
has been converted to a football field,
campaign ground and test-driving location.
People were also seen gathering there for
one purpose or another on a daily basis.
Despite the long years of its abandonment,
traces of the triangular shape of the
pyramids could still be seen all over the
place.
Many of those who witnessed the
groundnut boom and the famous pyramids
located at Kofar Mazugal in Dala, Bebeji,
Malam Madori, Kofar Nasarawa and
Dawakin-Kudu areas, regarded as the hub of
trading about 60 years ago, are unhappy at
the pyramids’ disappearance. Those who
spoke to our reporter recounted the
glorious days of the groundnut trade .
Alhaji Illiyasu Danladi, who was a young man
during the groundnut boom said, “It was
over 60 years ago. I was a teenager then,
but I can remember the activities here. I
lived close to the abattoir. Cars in the state at
that time were not more than 10. What we
had were donkeys and camels. Camels
represented trailers. People were poor, but
we all lived in peace. We were not jealous
over the successes of one another. If you
had N10, I would pray to God to give me
N20. I would not try to collect yours.
“This area was bushy and not tarred. We
had trains and railway tracks that led to
Lagos. I didn’t participate in the groundnut
business. We used to watch the activities
from here. At that time, this place used to be
filled with people who brought groundnut
from different areas. A lot of customers
came from other places to buy groundnut
and other products.
“Although farmers participated in farming
other crops, like rice, the most important
crops were groundnut and cotton. That was
where the federal government was getting
its revenue from. Whoever was privileged to
witness the period of the groundnut boom
in Kano will not be happy to see the way it
has disappeared. But the government can
revive it. In Kano, we still have the capacity
to produce groundnut in large quantities,
even more than we produced during the
boom.
“I remember that I saw white people many
times here. We watched some of them as
they took pictures of the groundnut
pyramids. Nobody would not be fascinated
by the way those bags of groundnut were
arranged before they were taken to Lagos.
Why did they stop it? In those days, it was
the only business that was booming here in
Dala.
“Some of our people also sold kolanuts
around here, but most people came here
because of groundnuts. We will be happy to
see the groundnut pyramids back. You can
see that the field is still there. Any day I walk
through this field I remember the activities
that went on here for many years. If you
were here some years before now, you
would have seen the rail lines. They were
destroyed during the construction of
roads.”
Malam Zakiru is an old man. According to
one of his sons, Adamu, he is over 88 years.
He was a kola-nut trader at a market close to
the location of the groundnut pyramids at
the Dala area of Kano city. Recounting his
memories of the period, he said: “Traces of
the groundnut pyramids are still there. You
can go and take a look for yourself. I didn’t
work there, but I still have the memories of
the activities that took place there from the
1950s. I had friends who were labourers
there. They were helping to arrange the
bags of groundnut to form pyramids. I was
selling kola-nuts at the market here, so we
could see what they were doing from here.
Whenever it was time to place the last bag
of groundnut on the peak of the pyramids
we would leave whatever we were doing to
go there and watch how it would be done.
It was only one man that did that. His name
was Dabge. I haven’t seen him come out for
many years until I heard he died some years
ago. It was fun watching him climb the
pyramids to the peak without being assisted
by anyone. Whenever it was time to place
the last bag of groundnuts on the pyramid
he was the one who would do it and people
would gather to watch him.
“That was the most exciting time at the
pyramids. I was young then, but I don’t
think I had that strength to do what those
labourers were doing with bags of
groundnut at the pyramids.”
Also speaking, another community elder at
Dala, Malam Sheriff Aminu, said that going to
the pyramids was like going to the market.
“No one went to the groundnut pyramids
unless there was a reason. Unfortunately,
they allowed that business to die. That
period, the agents would gather the
groundnuts in pyramids and transport them
to Lagos.
“Alhaji Alhassan Dantata was the one
running the business here. Many farmers in
the villages were harvesting for him.
Whenever it was the season, you would see
people bring groundnut from different parts
of Kano to the locations of the pyramids on
camels and donkeys; only few people had
vehicles to bring their produce here. His
own was to get labourers to put them
together in pyramids. When this was done,
the agents would later transport them to
Lagos for shipment abroad. Most of his
customers were outside the state and the
country. The groundnuts produced in Kano
at that time were beyond what the state
could consume; they were even beyond
what the country could consume. You would
see farmers bring their produce for sale
from different villages. The next day you
would see another set of people coming in
large groups and everywhere. The field
would be filled with people selling
groundnut. But now, things have changed.
“You can see that the place is now used as a
football field. Those who want to learn
driving and religious preachers also use it.
Even politicians use it during election
periods as a campaign ground.”
Malam Aminu also said that he and some of
his friends always watched the labourers as
they arranged the bags of groundnut to
form the pyramids. “They would continue to
arrange the bags until they got to the peak.
“There was no road here (pointing at the
IBB Way built by the PTF during the late Sani
Abacha era). Only a railway line was here. It
was constructed to link the two groundnut
pyramids located at Dala and the one at
Kofar Nasarawa. From Kano Radio House to
this place, there was no road. When the PTF
came to construct the road, they removed
the rail line.
“Look at this wall, from up to that end was
used as groundnut pyramids. The field
belongs to Alhaji Alhassan Dantata. If you
look at it carefully, you would still see traces
of the pyramids carved out in a triangular
form.
“The federal government had made efforts
to revive the groundnut industry and rebuild
the pyramids many years ago. Former
President Goodluck Jonathan, on his visit to
Kano during the presidential campaign,
promised that his administration would help
the people to revive the groundnut
pyramids, as well as put in place, the
necessary infrastructure to boost its
processing and packaging. He said there
was the need to empower Kano people and
boost trade and industry here. In 2014, he
said his administration, under the
groundnut value chain programme,
expected to produce an additional 120,000
metric tonnes of groundnut valued at N24
billion (US$ 155 million) and supplied to
small, medium and large scale processors.
According to him, the project was planned
to be implemented in 15 states - Jigawa,
Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Bauchi, Benue, Borno,
Gombe, Kebbi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger,
Taraba, Yobe and Zamfara - in the North-
West, North-East and North-Central geo-
political zones of the country.
But nothing was heard of the project till the
expiration of his administration in 2015.’

An Abia State Polytechnic student, identified
only as Abel, has killed the landlord of one
of the students’ lodges in the Immaculate
area of Aba, Abia State.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Abel, a final year
student of the Department of Architecture,
allegedly stabbed the victim in the stomach
during a disagreement at the lodge.
The landlord had ordered that no female
visitor was allowed to spend the night in
the lodge. The suspect was alleged to have
breached the rule and was challenged by
the landlord, which led to a
fight between them.
In the ensuing scuffle, the suspect was
alleged to have grabbed a knife and
stabbed the victim in the stomach, before
taking to his heels.

The landlord reportedly died on the spot.
His remains were recovered by the police
and deposited in a mortuary.
A student of the institution, who identified
herself only as Beatrice, explained that the
caretaker of the lodge was the first to
notice the breach of the rule, adding that he
informed the landlord.
She said the landlord barged into the room
and met Abel and his girlfriend naked,
which caused the fight.
She said:

“The incident happened around 9pm
on June 29. The deceased had made a
rule that no student living in the lodge
should bring a lady to pass the night
there. He also made it a rule that every
visitor, be it male or female, must
leave before night falls.

“However, the suspect brought home
a female guest in the evening and
both of them went inside his room.
The caretaker of the lodge saw them
and waited for them to come out, but
they didn’t. He then put a call through
to the landlord, who hurriedly went to
the building around 9pm.

“On arrival, the landlord barged into
the student’s room where he met
both the lady and the student naked.
Instead of excusing himself, he
attacked the student with punches.
The lady quickly grabbed a wrapper
and ran out of the room into another
student’s room in the lodge.
“As the confrontation continued, the
student stabbed the landlord with a
knife, put on his boxers and fled that
night, leaving the landlord dead in his
room.”
It was learnt that the incident threw the
community into confusion as the matter
was reported at a police station in the area.

The police were said to have launched a
manhunt for the suspect with his picture
posted at strategic areas in the school.
When contacted, the Abia State Police Public
Relations Officer, Nta Ogbonnaya, confirmed
the murder, but said he could not tell what
transpired between the suspect and the
deceased.

He said the case file had been transferred to
the State Department of Criminal
Investigations, adding that the police would
get the fugitive.
He said:

“Yes, there is a case of murder
involving a student of Abia State
Polytechnic, Aba, who stabbed his
landlord in the stomach. I cannot,
however, tell what happened
between them. I also don’t know the
name of the landlord and the suspect.
As I speak with you, the case file has
been transferred to the SDCI and we
are working with the school
authorities to get the details of the
suspect.
“I, however, want to advise him that
he should submit himself to the police
voluntarily. I assure that wherever he
decides to go, we will get him and he
will face justice.”
Efforts to reach the school authorities were
abortive as the official telephone line on the
school’s website was switched off.
A text message sent to the line had also yet
to be replied to as of the time of filing this
report, Punch reports.
